Vera Lane Studio

Another new love of mine is Vera Lane Studios.

I have been following the blog Betwixt this and that for a couple of years now, Nikki the blog owner makes some incredible ATC's using Vera Lane Studio downloads and I decided to give it a go and see what I could come up with.

The Facebook page of VLS has monthly swaps and the standard of the work is amazing. 

Below is my first piece, a 6" x 6" card coloured using watercolours.

The ATC below is the first swap I took part in.

As you can see, the images are a little quirky but lots of fun to use. There are a huge variety of images to choose from and I intend to make full use of as many as possible!

I thought I would share a couple of cards and a journal page I made using the Tim Holtz Crazy Cats stamps, I love these quirky stamps, such fun images.

I used a mask and a brick design Washi tape for the above card.

I decided to use colourful watercolour paint colours rather than realistic so staying with the quirky feel of the stamps.

I made the background for the journal page using gesso to give texture, Gelatos and string.
